Transcript Updated with Code 570 - Anyone Dealt With This? How Long to Resolve?

Code 570 means there's a temporary hold on your account. Here's what you need to know: 1. First, check if there's also a 971 code which usually comes with it - this indicates a notice is being sent. 2. Look at the date next to the 570 code - this is when the IRS will review your return again. 3. Common reasons include: income verification, identity verification, or math errors. 4. Most 570 holds resolve within 2-3 weeks if there are no major issues. 5. If you have a 971 code, wait for the notice to arrive before taking action. Don't panic - this is a standard part of processing for many returns.

Have you checked if there are any other codes on your transcript? Did you claim any credits that might trigger additional review? Are there any discrepancies between what you reported and what your employers reported? Sometimes the 570 is just the IRS's way of saying they need a bit more time to verify something, but knowing the full picture would help determine what you're dealing with.

I had the exact same code 570 situation exactly 23 days ago. After waiting on hold with the IRS for 97 minutes and getting disconnected twice, I used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) and got through to an agent in 18 minutes. The agent confirmed it was just a random review and released my refund 4 days later. Saved me hours of frustration and uncertainty. The 570 code can take between 14-21 days to resolve if it's a simple verification issue.

I had code 570 last year and it was because my W-2 information didn't exactly match what the IRS had on file. The Cycle Date on my transcript was 20230805 which meant they were processing it in the 8th week of 2023. The hold lasted exactly 21 days, then I got code 571 (release of hold) followed by 846 (refund issued). The worst part was waiting without knowing if I'd get the money I needed for my car payment. Check your transcript for a TC 971 - that Notice will explain what's happening.

I'm not sure the advice about waiting 2-3 weeks is accurate for everyone. My 570 code sat there for almost 2 months last year! I filed in early February and didn't see movement until April. The IRS never even sent me a notice explaining why. Just when I had given up hope, the money appeared in my account out of nowhere. I'm seeing similar delays for people this tax season too.

According to several posts on the IRS subreddit and TaxTwitter, code 570 is showing up more frequently this year than in previous filing seasons. The IRS website (irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions) confirms that additional security measures have been implemented this year, resulting in more returns being flagged for manual review. Don't trust anyone who gives you a definite timeframe - each case is different.

Code 570 is common. Nothing to panic about. Check for code 971 too. They usually appear together. 971 means notice sent. Could be identity verification. Could be income mismatch. Could be random review. Most resolve in 2-4 weeks. Some take longer. Keep checking transcript weekly. Look for code 571 next.

Have you tried calling the IRS directly? The Taxpayer Advocate Service might be able to help if your situation is causing financial hardship. You should also double-check your return for any errors - did you report all income? Any typos in your SSN or filing status? Sometimes the simplest mistakes trigger these holds.

If the 570 code appeared on March 25th, 2024 or later, it's likely part of the IRS's end-of-quarter verification process. I had this happen on April 2nd last year, and it resolved by April 18th. Check if the date on your 570 code matches the cycle date on your transcript - if they're within the same week, it's usually just a timing issue rather than a problem with your return.
